Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Klappschachtel (Hinge-Lid-Packung) für eine Zigaretten-Gruppe oder anderen Packungsinhalt, bestehend aus einem Schachtelteil und einem mit diesem klappbar verbundenen Deckel sowie mit einem vorzugsweise aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt gebildeten Kragen aus Kragen-Vorderwand und Kragen-Seitenwand, wobei der Kragen mit einem Kragen-Oberteil im Bereich einer Schachtel-Vorderwand sowie von Schachtel-Seitenwänden über das Schachtelteil hinwegragt, derart, daß das Kragen-Oberteil in Schließstellung vom Deckel umfaßt ist.The invention relates to a hinged box (hinge-lid pack) for a cigarette group or other pack content, consisting of a box part and a lid hingedly connected to this, and with a collar, preferably formed from a separate blank, of the collar front wall and the collar side wall , wherein the collar with a collar upper part in the area of a box front wall and box side walls protrudes beyond the box part, such that the collar upper part is covered by the lid in the closed position.

Klappschachteln bzw. Hinge-Lid-Packungen sind typisch für Zigaretten, aber auch für andere Gegenstände. Der standardmäßige Aufbau sieht so aus, daß eine formierte Zigaretten-Gruppe von einem Innenzuschnitt umhüllt ist und als Zigaretten-Block den Packungsinhalt bildet. Die Klappschachtel selbst besteht aus dünnem Karton. Der Deckel ist im Bereich einer Deckel-Rückwand über ein Liniengelenk mit einer Schachtel -Rückwand des Schachtelteils verbunden. Der Kragen besteht üblicherweise aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt, kann aber auch einstückig mit dem übrigen Zuschnitt verbunden sein. Kragen-Vorderwand und Kragen-Seitenwand sind an der Innenseite des Schachtel teils mit diesem verbunden, insbesondere durch Klebung. Ein Kragen-Oberteil ragt aus dem Schachtelteil heraus.Folding boxes or hinge-lid packs are typical for cigarettes, but also for other items. The standard structure is such that a formed cigarette group is encased in an inner blank and forms the pack contents as a cigarette block. The folding box itself is made of thin cardboard. The lid is connected in the area of a lid rear wall via a line hinge to a box rear wall of the box part. The collar usually consists of a separate blank, but can also be connected in one piece to the rest of the blank. The collar front wall and the collar side wall are partly on the inside of the box connected, especially by gluing. A collar top protrudes from the box part.

Ein Problem dieses Packungstyps besteht darin, den Deckel bei geschlossener Verpackung in einer exakten Schließstellung zu halten. Besonders bei Klappschachteln mit abgerundeten, aufrechten Packungskanten (Rundkanten) und abgeschrägten Kanten ist eine Schließhilfe wünschenswert.One problem with this type of package is that the lid is kept in an exact closed position when the package is closed. A closing aid is particularly desirable for hinged boxes with rounded, upright packaging edges (round edges) and bevelled edges.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Klappschachtel vorzuschlagen, die mit einer einfach herzustellenden und in der Praxis wirksamen Schließhilfe für den Deckel ausgestattet ist.The invention has for its object to propose a hinged box which is equipped with an easy to manufacture and effective in practice closing aid for the lid.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Klappschachtel dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß an der Außenseite mindestens einer Kragen-Seitenwand und/oder an der Innenseite mindestens einer Deckel-Seitenwand Vorsprünge und/oder Vertiefungen gebildet sind, die in Schließstellung kraft- und/oder formschlüssig miteinander in Eingriff sind oder kraftschlüssig an der gegenüberliegenden Deckel-Seitenwand oder an einer Kragen-Seitenwand anliegen.To achieve this object, the hinged box according to the invention is characterized in that on the outside of at least one collar side wall and / or on the inside at least one cover side wall, projections and / or depressions are formed which in the closed position are non-positively and / or positively with one another Are engaging or abut frictionally on the opposite cover side wall or on a collar side wall.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Klappschachtel wird demnach die Schließhilfe im Bereich von schmalen Seitenwänden gebildet, und zwar zwischen Kragen-Seitenwand einerseits und Deckel-Seitenwand andererseits. Die Schließhilfe besteht aus miteinander korrespondierenden Organen, die unmittelbar Teile der Deckel-Seitenwand und/oder der Kragen-Seitenwand sind. Die Organe der Schließhilfe werden ausschließlich durch Prägen, also Materialverformung, und/oder durch Stanzen gebildet. Der Zuschnitt für die Klappschachtel hat im übrigen die standardmäßige Kontur.In the hinged box according to the invention, the closing aid is therefore formed in the region of narrow side walls, namely between the collar side wall on the one hand and the cover side wall on the other. The locking aid consists of mutually corresponding organs which are directly parts of the cover side wall and / or the collar side wall. The organs of the locking aid are formed exclusively by embossing, i.e. material deformation, and / or by stamping. The cut for the hinged box has the standard contour.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung machen sich die übliche Konstruktion einer Klappschachtel zunutze, bei der nämlich die Deckel-Seitenwände doppellagig ausgebildet sind. Sie bestehen aus einem äußeren Deckel-Seitenlappen und einem inneren Deckel-Seitenlappen. An den Kragen-Seitenwänden gebildete, zur Deckel-Seitenwand gerichtete Vorsprünge liegen in Schließstellung am inneren Deckel-Seitenlappen an oder stehen in Eingriff mit hier angeordneten korrespondierenden Vorsprüngen. Bei Nutzung lediglich kraftschlüssiger Verbindungen liegen Vorsprünge jeweils an der gegenüberliegenden Wandung der Klappschachtel mit erhöhter Reibung an.Advantageous exemplary embodiments of the invention make use of the customary construction of a hinged box, in which the lid side walls are formed in two layers. They consist of an outer cover side tab and an inner cover side tab. In the closed position, projections formed on the collar side walls and directed towards the cover side wall bear against the inner cover side tabs or are in engagement with corresponding projections arranged here. At Using only non-positive connections, protrusions each abut the opposite wall of the hinged box with increased friction.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung der Klappschachtel ist die eine mit einer Schließhilfe versehene Wandung, insbesondere die Kragen-Seitenwand, mit einem Vorsprung und die andere Wandung mit einer Vertiefung bzw. einer Öffnung oder einem Loch versehen, insbesondere der innere Deckel-Seitenlappen. In Schließstellung tritt der Vorsprung der Kragen-Seitenwand in die Öffnung bzw. das Loch in dem Deckel-Seitenlappen ein.In a further advantageous embodiment of the hinged box, the one wall provided with a closing aid, in particular the side wall of the collar, is provided with a projection and the other wall is provided with a recess or an opening or a hole, in particular the inner side flap of the lid. In the closed position, the projection of the collar side wall enters the opening or the hole in the cover side tab.

Die Organe der Schließhilfe werden bei der Fertigung der Zuschnitte für die Klappschachtel einerseits und für den Kragen andererseits angebracht, so daß in bezug auf die Schließhilfe fertige Zuschnitte der Verpackungsmaschine zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Fertigungstechnisch ist es einfach, die Vorsprünge, Vertiefungen oder Stanzungen im Bereich der ebenen Zuschnitte bei deren Fertigung anzubringen.The organs of the closing aid are attached during the manufacture of the blanks for the hinged box on the one hand and for the collar on the other hand, so that finished blanks of the packaging machine are made available in relation to the closing aid. In terms of manufacturing technology, it is easy to attach the projections, depressions or punchings in the area of the flat blanks during their manufacture.

Bodenwand 16 und Stirnwand 21 sind im Bereich von Ecken in angepaßter Weise abgerundet. Die Packungskanten 23. .26 entstehen bei der Faltung der Zuschnitte für die Klappschachtel (Fig. 7, Fig. 10). Zu diesem Zweck sind die Zuschnitte mit Kantenstreifen 27 versehen, nämlich mit Vorprägungen, die hier als in Längsrichtung des Zuschnitts bzw. der Packungskanten 23. .26 verlaufenden, engen, parallelen Rillen bestehen.As a special feature, the upright packing edges 23, 24, 25, 26 are formed as round edges in the present exemplary embodiments of the folding box, that is to say with a cross section in the shape of approximately a quarter circle while adapting to the dimensions of a cigarette. Bottom wall 16 and end wall 21 are rounded in a suitable manner in the region of corners. The packing edges 23. .26 are created when the blanks for the hinged box are folded (FIG. 7, FIG. 10). For this purpose, the blanks are provided with edge strips 27, namely with knockouts, which exist here as narrow, parallel grooves running in the longitudinal direction of the blank or of the packaging edges 23 .26.

Die Schachtel-Seitenwände 14, 15 sind ebenso wie die Deckel-Seitenwände 19, 20 doppellagig bzw. doppelwandig ausgebildet. Je zwei mindestens in einem Teilbereich einander überdeckende Schachtel-Seitenstreifen 28, 29 bzw. entsprechende Deckel-Seitenstreifen 30, 31 bilden die genannten Seitenwände 19, 20 und sind zu diesem Zweck miteinander durch Klebung oder dergleichen verbunden. Die innenliegenden Schachtel-Seitenstreifen 28 schließen seitlich an die Schachtel-Rückwand 13 an, während die äußeren Schachtel-Seitenstreifen 29 mit der Schachtel-Vorderwand verbunden sind. Entsprechend ist der Deckel gestaltet.The box side walls 14, 15 are, like the lid side walls 19, 20, double-walled or double-walled. Two box side strips 28, 29 or corresponding cover side strips 30, 31 covering each other at least in a partial area form said side walls 19, 20 and are connected to one another for this purpose by adhesive bonding or the like. The inner box side strips 28 connect laterally to the box rear wall 13, while the outer box side strips 29 are connected to the box front wall. The lid is designed accordingly.

Mit den innenliegenden Deckel-Seitenstreifen 31 sind Deckel-Ecklappen 32 verbunden, die bei der fertigen Verpackung an der Innenseite der Stirnwand 21 anliegen und mit dieser verklebt sind. Entsprechend sind Boden-Ecklappen 33 mit der Bodenwand 16 verbunden.Lid corner tabs 32 are connected to the inside lid side strips 31, which in the finished packaging abut the inside of the end wall 21 and are glued to it. Correspondingly, bottom corner flaps 33 are connected to the bottom wall 16.

An die Deckel-Vorderwand 17 schließt ein Deckel-Innenlappen 34 an, der bei der fertigen Klappschachtel gegen die Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 gefaltet und mit dieser verbunden ist.A lid inner tab 34 adjoins the lid front wall 17 and, in the finished hinged box, is folded against the inside of the lid front wall 17 and connected to it.

Zu einer Klappschachtel gehört weiterhin ein Kragen 35. Dieser besteht hier aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt (Fig. 3). Der Kragen 35 besteht aus einer Kragen-Vorderwand 36 und Kragen-Seitenwänden 37, 38. Der so ausgebildete Kragen 35 ist im Schachtelteil 10 positioniert, derart, daß ein unterer Teil der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 innen an der Schachtel-Vorderwand 12 anliegt. Die Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 liegen innen an den Schachtel-Seitenwänden 14, 15 an. Der Kragen 35 ist mit dem Schachtelteil 10 verbunden, zum Beispiel durch Klebung.A collet 35 also belongs to a folding box. This consists of a separate blank (FIG. 3). The collar 35 consists of a collar front wall 36 and collar side walls 37, 38. The collar 35 designed in this way is positioned in the box part 10 such that a lower part of the collar front wall 36 bears against the inside of the box front wall 12. The collar side walls 37, 38 abut the inside of the box side walls 14, 15. The collar 35 is connected to the box part 10, for example by gluing.

Die Relativstellung des Kragens 35 zum Schachtelteil 10 ist so gewählt, daß ein oberer Teil, nämlich ein Kragen-Oberteil 39 aus dem Schachtelteil 10 herausragt. Das Kragen-Oberteil 39 ist in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel innerhalb des Deckels 11 positioniert, nämlich im Bereich von Deckel -Vorderwand 17 und Deckel-Seitenwänden 19, 20. Die Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 liegen dabei an den zugeordneten Deckel-Seitenwänden 19, 20 an.The relative position of the collar 35 to the box part 10 is chosen such that an upper part, namely an upper collar part 39 protrudes from the box part 10. The collar upper part 39 is positioned in the closed position of the hinged box within the lid 11, namely in the area of the lid front wall 17 and Lid side walls 19, 20. The collar side walls 37, 38 abut the associated lid side walls 19, 20.

Die vorliegenden Klappschachteln sind mit einer Schließhilfe versehen, also mit Organen, die die in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 und in Fig. 9 gezeigte Schließstellung der Klappschachtel stabilisieren, gleichwohl aber den Öffnungs- und Schließvorgang nicht behindern.The present folding boxes are provided with a closing aid, that is to say with organs which stabilize the closing position of the folding box shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 9, but nevertheless do not hinder the opening and closing process.

Die Schließhilfen bestehen im vorliegenden Fall aus verformten und/oder gestanzten Teilbereichen von aufgrund der Konstruktion einer Klappschachtel vorhandenen Wandungen derselben. Im vorliegenden Falle wird eine zusätzliche Schließkraft durch Wechselwirkung zwischen den Deckel-Seitenwänden 19, 20 einerseits und den Kragen-Seitenwänden 37, 38 andererseits bewirkt.In the present case, the closing aids consist of deformed and / or stamped partial areas of the walls of the same due to the construction of a folding box. In the present case, an additional closing force is brought about by interaction between the cover side walls 19, 20 on the one hand and the collar side walls 37, 38 on the other hand.

Eine Ausführungsform der Schließhilfe ergibt sich aus Fig. 1 sowie Fig. 3 bis Fig. 5 sowie Fig. 7 und Fig. 8. Einander zugekehrte Wandungen im Bereich des Deckels 11, nämlich Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 einerseits und die innenliegenden Deckel-Seitenstreifen 31 andererseits sind mit Vorsprüngen versehen, die bei geschlossener Klappschachtel (Fig. 1, Fig. 5) miteinander formschlüssig in Eingriff stehen. Zu diesem Zweck sind im Bereich der Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 im oberen Bereich, also innerhalb des Kragen-Oberteils 39, zu den Deckel -Seitenwänden 19, 20 gerichtete Vorsprünge 40 angeordnet. Diese sind durch Prägen des Materials der Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 gebildet. Der Querschnitt der Vorsprünge 40 ergibt sich aus Fig. 4. Danach ist ein winkelförmiger Querschnitt gegeben mit einer unteren schräggerichteten Stützfläche 41. Die hieran oben anschließende Wandung 42 des Vorsprungs 40 ist hier gewölbt. Insgesamt hat der Vorsprung 40 eine bogenförmige Kontur mit einem quergerichteten Abschluß als Stützfläche 41. Der Vorsprung 40 wird zweckmäßigerweise bei der Herstellung des Zuschnitts für den Kragen 35 durch Prägen eingeformt.An embodiment of the locking aid results from FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5 and 7 and 8. Walls facing one another in the area of the cover 11, namely collar side walls 37, 38 on the one hand and the inside cover side strips 31, on the other hand, are provided with projections which are in positive engagement with one another when the hinged box (FIG. 1, FIG. 5) is closed. For this purpose, projections 40 are arranged in the region of the collar side walls 37, 38 in the upper region, that is to say inside the collar upper part 39, towards the cover side walls 19, 20. These are formed by embossing the material of the collar side walls 37, 38. The cross section of the projections 40 results from FIG. 4. Thereafter, an angular cross section is provided with a lower, obliquely directed support surface 41. The wall 42 of the projection 40 adjoining this is curved here. Overall, the projection 40 has an arcuate contour with a transverse end as a support surface 41. The projection 40 is expediently formed by embossing during the production of the cut for the collar 35.

Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite, also an den inneren Deckel-Seitenstreifen 31, ist ein Gegenvorsprung 43 gebildet. Dieser hat im vorliegenden Falle die gleiche geometrische Gestalt wie der Vorsprung 40, wobei die Stützfläche 41 nach oben gerichtet ist. Die Relativstellung von Vorsprung 40 und Gegenvorsprung 43 ist so gewählt, daß in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel (Fig. 1, Fig. 5) die Vorsprünge 40, 43 formschlüssig miteinander in Eingriff stehen. Dies bedeutet, daß die Stützflächen 41 der beiden Vorsprünge aneinanderliegen (Fig. 5). Dadurch ergibt sich beim Schließen der Klappschachtel ein Effekt des Einrastens bzw. des Einschnappens. Beim Öffnen des Deckels 11 ist ein leichter Widerstand zu überwinden.On the opposite side, that is to say on the inner cover side strips 31, a counter-projection 43 is formed. In the present case, this has the same geometric shape as the projection 40, the support surface 41 being directed upwards. The relative position of projection 40 and counter-projection 43 is selected so that in the closed position of the hinged box (Fig. 1, Fig. 5) the projections 40, 43 are positively engaged with each other. This means that the support surfaces 41 of the two projections lie against one another (FIG. 5). This results in a snap-in or snap-in effect when the hinged box is closed. When opening the cover 11, a slight resistance has to be overcome.

Eine modifizierte Ausführung der Schließhilfe ergibt sich aus Fig. 6 sowie aus Fig. 9 bis Fig. 11. Bei dieser Ausführung ist lediglich an einer Seite, nämlich an den Kragen-Seitenwänden 37, 38, ein Vorsprung 44 gebildet. Dieser ist hier in gleicher Weise gestaltet wie der Vorsprung 40 der beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele, also mit Stützfläche 41 und Wandung 42.A modified embodiment of the locking aid results from FIG. 6 and from FIGS. 9 to 11. In this embodiment, a projection 44 is formed only on one side, namely on the collar side walls 37, 38. This is designed here in the same way as the projection 40 of the exemplary embodiments described, that is to say with a support surface 41 and wall 42.

Der Vorsprung 44 arbeitet mit dem inneren Deckel-Seitenstreifen 31 zusammen. Beim Öffnen und Schließen des Deckels gleitet der Vorsprung 44 mit einer nach außen gerichteten Reibkante 45 an der Innenseite des Deckel-Seitenstreifens 31 entlang. Dadurch ergibt sich in Schließstellung eine erhöhte Schließkraft.The projection 44 cooperates with the inner cover side strip 31. When opening and closing the cover, the projection 44 slides along the inside of the cover side strip 31 with an outwardly directed friction edge 45. This results in an increased closing force in the closed position.

Dieser Effekt wird im vorliegenden Falle dadurch verstärkt, daß der Vorsprung 44 in Schließstellung in eine Vertiefung des Deckels 11 einrastet, nämlich in ein Loch 46, welches im Deckel -Seitenstreifen 31 gebildet ist. Das Loch 46 (Fig. 10, Fig. 11) ist so positioniert, daß exakt in der Schließstellung des Deckels 11 der Einrasteffekt entsteht. Die geometrische Form des Lochs 46 entspricht der des Vorsprungs 44, so daß dieser in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel passend, formschlüssig in dem Loch 46 Aufnahme findet (Fig. 9). Der Einrastvorgang beim Schließen und Öffnen des Deckels 11 ist dadurch erleichtert.This effect is enhanced in the present case in that the projection 44 engages in a recess in the cover 11 in the closed position, namely in a hole 46 which is formed in the cover side strip 31. The hole 46 (FIG. 10, FIG. 11) is positioned in such a way that the snap-in effect occurs exactly in the closed position of the cover 11. The geometric shape of the hole 46 corresponds to that of the projection 44, so that it fits in the closed position of the hinged box in a form-fitting manner in the hole 46 (FIG. 9). The latching process when closing and opening the lid 11 is thereby facilitated.

Die Schließhilfen können in verschiedener Hinsicht abgewandelt sein. Dies gilt insbesondere für die aus dem Material des Kragens 35 bzw. des Deckels 11 durch Prägen und/oder Stanzen geformten Vorsprünge. In der einfachsten Ausführung kann jeweils ein Vorsprung nur an der Innenseite der Deckel-Seitenstreifen 31 oder der Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 angeordnet sein. Bei dieser einfachen Ausführung wird die Schließhilfe ausschließlich durch Reibkraft bewirkt. Ein besserer Effekt ist, wenn zusätzlich ein formschlüssiger Eingriff mit anderen Vorsprüngen oder mit Vertiefungen bzw. Löchern gegeben ist.The locking aids can be modified in various ways. This applies in particular to the projections formed from the material of the collar 35 or the cover 11 by stamping and / or stamping. In the simplest embodiment, a projection can only be arranged on the inside of the cover side strips 31 or the collar side walls 37, 38. In this simple version, the locking aid is only caused by friction. A better effect is when added there is a positive engagement with other projections or with depressions or holes.
